Rehabilitation

Rehabilitation is a key component of the treatment plan for patients recovering from neurological disease or trauma. Our dedicated team of professionals is experienced in working with patients recovering from a wide variety of medical conditions, including stroke, brain trauma, spinal cord injury/disease, neuromuscular disease and movement disorders. The primary goal of neurological rehabilitation is to help patients attain the highest level of independent functioning by preventing complications and reducing disability.

Based on a clinical assessment of the patient, a customized rehabilitation treatment plan is developed and may include the following:

Training in activities of daily living such as eating, dressing, bathing, using the toilet, cooking, and basic home management

Speech therapy

Activities to improve/regain muscle control in the upper and lower extremities, and trunk

Exercise to improve range of motion, flexibility, and strength

Gait and balance retraining

Activities to improve cognitive impairments, such as difficulties with concentration, attention, memory, and judgment

Education regarding the disability and rehabilitation process
